Tolkien maps
[edit]Hi,
Fictional maps are considered as copyrighted by the industry, and some jurists, as they aren't facts but fictional elements. This means your file is a derivative work of a copyrighted work, and so, not admissible on Commons, as copyright violation.
The Tolkien Estate, current copyright holder's manager organization, is especially known to send cease or desist letters to maps published without their authorization.
